To My Future Little, Know That You Are Already So, So Loved

You have just joined one of the best organizations on Baylor campus (I'm a little biased) and I AM PUMPED!! You are about to meet so many amazing and Godly women these coming weeks and I am so excited to share with you what being a KXA means to me.

I remember being in your shoes just a short year ago, excited to have finally found my home in Baylor's community. I was a nervous freshman, unsure about myself and unsure if this was the organization for me. The first night of recruitment I braced the cold and made my way towards the SUB, and I found my family. The person I met in KXA ended up being my big, so who knows? Maybe I met you already!

The second night of recruitment was tough, as I gave my testimony to a group of strangers and I started crying, knowing that I finally found where I belong. Night after night, I was more excited to join KXA and make friendships that would last a lifetime.

So, now it's your turn. I hope recruitment week was amazing, and I am here to tell you it only gets better from here.

I want you to know that you are loved endlessly already. I already have a weekly lunch or coffee date planned for us, because I want us to have a loving and amazing relationship. We are going to pour into each other's lives. I hope you know that I am going to help you through thick and thin and I hope you will do the same for me. If you ever need anything, please know that you can come to me with anything.

Oh, my beautiful little, you are about to be SO spoiled for Basket Week! I am already thrilled to bake you ALL the baked goods, T-shirts, and anything and everything KXA related. And then you will finally be initiated into Kappa Chi Alpha and be part of our lovely sisterhood centered around Christ.

7 Reasons You Should Order A Vodka/Water/Lime When You're Out

We’ve all been through it. Whether it was sometime in high school, out freshman year of college or the day we turned 21, at some point you have or will tried to order a drink while you’re out on the town. I’m here to end all the experimentation, and give you a go-to drink that is sweeping across college campuses everywhere, the Vodka-Water-Lime, and the reasons why, are clear to see.

1. It will keep you hydrated

It may seem trivial but hydration is key if you’re planning on drinking any amount any time, or so I have been told. But let’s face it, biology grants us the ability to chug concoctions called 4-Lokos with ease while drinking the recommended amount of water per day almost impossible. The drink that solves both issues—Vodka-Water-Lime.

2. It doesn't taste that bad

I’ll admit I was a little skeptical at first, but this drink isn’t that bad to swallow, especially when you think about some of the other things you could be drinking. There’s a reason why the only way people can drink tequila is in shot from or in a lime slushy. As the old saying goes: if you drink enough everything just tastes like water, and this one already has water in it!

3. It gets you drunk

That’s right. It does the job. Isn’t that really all we want in a drink anyway, everything else is just trivial.

4. It establishes immediate common-ground

What is that girl next to you at the bar about to order? You guessed it. Now imagine that you are about to order the same thing, she is practically begging to dance on you at this point, it’s that easy.

5. Easy, Quick, Universal

There are just three simple ingredients, and the amounts of which are subject to your personal preference and tolerance levels. It doesn’t require the aid of Chet the self-proclaimed mixologist to make—it’s so easy a baby could do it! And it’s known virtually everywhere, if you’re ever in a place that doesn’t have either vodka, water, or limes, you’re probably there against your will anyway.

6. Health Benefits

Since most people don’t drink liquor straight, the use of a chaser or mixer is required, but we all know the problems that causes. Sugar and alcohol don’t mix well, not to mention the calories in soda. Vodka-Water-Lime has not calories and no sugar added. On top of that, the presence of water and lack of soda is almost a guarantee that you won’t be hungover the next day.

7. It's shameless

With all of the numerous benefits, it’s impossible to give someone a hard time for ordering this, yet it happens. Becky’s friends may tell her that she looks great and shouldn’t be concerned about her calories. WELL MAYBE BECKY JUST LIKES THE TASTE. Still, Bradley may get bold and order one out with the boys, but since there’s nothing to crack open, he may be the butt of their jokes, but Bradley knows that he made the right choice.

NOTE: limes can be substituted for other in-season citrus fruits.

There’s a reason the Vodka-Water-Lime is the number one drink at The Strip every week. The facts are there; it’s not fake news. Vodka-Water-Lime should be your new drink. It’s not just something you adopt in college or for a few nights out, it’s a lifestyle. The Vodka-Water-Lime is classy and sophisticated, it is a drink that you can order somewhere fancy like a restaurant or a Carnival cruise ship, or even on your wedding night.

Now Accepting Formal Date Applications

It's the most wonderful time of the year where college students everywhere run around looking for formal dates.

I have not been the luckiest when it comes to finding the perfect date. My first formal I got ditched the week of, and had to direct message a guy I had met once or twice before on Facebook to ask him to save me. My second formal I went with a good friend of mine, and we ended up leaving early and getting Sonic, and this past semester I just went with my guy friend and we also ended up leaving early and watching a movie.

I just have a few simple questions I need you to answer before we decide to go together.
